Gliese 581 G: Liquid Water

NASA discovered a system of seven Earth-size planets around a single star outside our solar system. All of these seven rocky planets could have water which is a key to life and three of them are firmly located in the habitable zone. This system is about 40 light-years (235 trillion miles) from Earth. Because of locating outside of our solar system, these planets are scientifically known as exoplanets. This exoplanet system is called TRAPPIST-1, name of telescope in Chile. Researchers using TRAPPIST announced they had discovered three planets in the system and then discovered more to seven by several ground-based telescopes. Moreover, NASA used data from Spitzer to measure the sizes of the seven planets and estimates the masses and density of six of them. The data indicated that they are likely to be rocky and could have liquid water on their surfaces but the mass of the seventh has not been estimated yet. Scientists assumed it could be an icy like snowball world. The temperature of TRAPPIST-1 star is cooler than our sun,

The possibility of life beyond Earth is a tantalizing idea long prompting our species to wonder if there are other worlds where life exists. As space technology advances, the chances of finding life on other planets are now greater than ever. With new technologies such as satellites and solar panels, scientists are able to expand their exploration farther into our solar system. In 1995, an astronomer named Michel Mayor together with Didier Queloz discovered 51 Pegasi b. This was truly an incredible discovery that rocked the science community. Pledges b, a wobbling star the size of our sun, was slowly approaching, and according to Mayor’s

“It’s okay to look back on the past. Just don’t stare.” Benjamin Dover once said. The quote is significant to the true meaning of the poem. Reflecting on the past may be a good thing, but one shouldn’t emerge themselves too deep. Throughout the poem, Lowell writes with explicit detail. The speaker reflects on their past experiences with someone whilst living in a small town in Maine. The duo would sit on a rock and watch the sea flow onto them at times. At first itIn “Water”, written by the poet Robert Lowell, the theme of reflecting on the past is illustrated through Lowell’s use of imagery.

The purpose of this lab is to determine the percent of water in a hydrate. I learned that copper sulfate hydrate is blue on its own but, when heat is added it will change color to a dim gray. One error that may have occurred is the failure to zero the scale which would ultimately change the math in the equation. Another error that may occur in this lab is forgetting to wait the recommended amount of cooling time, which would change the mass of the elements. At the end if the lab when we look to the questions, it is also beneficial to look at the notes for the lab because it helps with the setup of equations that may come with the questions, also it is very helpful

Water by the Spoonful, is a play that centers the struggles of redemption. The main protagonist Elliot is damaged and is trying to overcome his issues by not moving forward. The play displays Elliot’s attempt to overcome his past, but it indicates that he is having trouble moving on.

In this lab, "Gravimetric Methods," students were expected to be able to calculate the mass percentage of an unknown hydrate, describe the process of gravimetric analysis, and put together the equipment needed to evaporate water from the unknown hydrate.   Gravimetric analysis is the process in which an amount of a substance can be found by measuring the mass.  By comparing the masses of two compounds that contain the substance, one can successfully complete a gravimetric analysis.  The initial recorded mass will be different from the final recorded mass since part of the substance evaporates from the container.  By subtracting the initial mass from the final mass, students can determine the amount of the substance that evaporated.  They can

Trappist 1 is a new system that is orbiting the Trappist dwarf star. The fourth, fifth, and sixth planets farthest from the star are habitual enough that liquid water could pool on the surface. The orbit of Trappist-1 could fit into the orbit of Mercury. It is a fraction of our sun and is not much bigger then Jupiter.

Until space industry can devise a transportation system faster than light-speed, humanity has no hope of ever exploring this planet. On more auspicious terms for discovering a habitable world, one does not need to look farther than our own solar system. Cassini, an orbiter of Saturn, discovered that one of its moons, dubbed as Enceladus, has liquid water beneath its icy crust. Furthermore, a rocky core at the bottom of the ocean confirms that the liquid water may have the essential minerals and nutrients to provide microbial organisms with a sustainable food

Virgil Ortiz states that when he walked up to the Charles Bridge, it reminded him of the photo from the “Clay People Book” and knew that he needed to recreate it someday. The vertigo series infuses culture awareness and historical research into the piece. As his ancestors once used clay to comment on their daily lives and experiences, Ortiz does the same but adds a different element by enlisting his family members to contribute their works to re-create the scene inspired by Ben Wittick. They got to pick one of the figurines from the original photo and re-create it in their own way. It was mainly to show the public the latest version of the tradition of ceramic figurines.

planet is 71% water and we have only explored less than five percent! A world of

The new planet is known as HD 219134b and it followed NASA's discovery of the planet Kepler-452b, discovered by the Kepler telescope. The Kepler-452b apparently resembles Earth much more than the HD 219134b exoplanet. It maintains a 385 orbit and its host star is only 20 percent brighter than the Earth's sun. However, HD 219134b is much closer to Earth than the Kepler-452b, and for that reason, scientists have high expectations from it.

Astronomers say that there are oceans on other world made from different element besides hydrogen and oxygen. But these oceans are only theory and based on the universe being infinite. On Gliese, the world sea is made of water however there is most likely no water on the surface of the planet. Gliese is near a red dwarf star which causes the atmosphere to reach temperature of five hundred forty degrees Fahrenheit. Do to the water vapers of the planet the pressure underneath the clouds is two hundred eighteen that of Earth surface.

They say that if Proxima b has water and isn’t to hot or cold then it will be livable. So if there is water to drink and we won’t cook or freeze then it will be livable like earth. They also say it’s likely to be one third heavier than earth. I wonder how they found a planet like earth. I mean if it is what they say then it should be livable. Also the article never mentioned whether there was enough

The first exoplanet found, Peg 51 b, challenged the then present theory of giant planet formation. Models of giant planet formation stated that Jupiter-like planets form at distances of 4-5 AU, AU being the distance from

The earth is special mainly because it is located at the perfect distance from the sun. The temperature here is just right for water to exist as a liquid: get in as close Venus and the water just boils away as steam, while as far out as the orbit of Mars water is frozen to ice.
